> he did in fact make a false apology No he didn't. Making a false apology requires some form of deception or misdirection whereby it isn't obvious that you are denying any responsibility. For example "I'm sorry you feel that way - but I'm not at fault!" Is not a false apology, since it is very clear that you are denying responsibility, despite that fact that it contains the triggering substring "I'm sorry you feel that way".
